Investment Asset Holdings LLC is currently managing 2 pending office actions in the Communications technology area. Both of these actions are assigned to the same distinct examiner, KELLEY, STEVEN SHAUN. Consequently, KELLEY, STEVEN SHAUN is the busiest examiner for the portfolio, handling 2 pending office actions. The prosecution is also entirely contained within a distinct art unit, indicating a high degree of concentration in the company's active workload.
For a practitioner, this represents a streamlined environment, as both of the 2 pending office actions are being reviewed by the same individual in the same technical unit. This allows for a very consistent prosecution strategy, as the practitioner only needs to account for the preferences and requirements of a single examiner. However, it also means that the company's entire active workload in the Communications sector is dependent on the decisions of KELLEY, STEVEN SHAUN. The 2 pending office actions will likely be influenced by the same examiner's perspective on the technical standards of the 1 distinct art unit.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
